Recess+and+movement+discussion+page

Respond with your ideas about recess and how to resolve the issues that keep coming forward about the different games that are played. Some of the things that we discussed today were:
 * football and field use
 * rules for four-square

Any suggestions? Comments?

I really wish the cottage wasn't where the field used to be, because now all I do at recess is swing.-Andy

I think this page needs to be updated, because we don't really play 4-square anymore. -Linnea

@Andy I agree. If that //**thing**// wasn't right where we played football, 4 square, kickball, ect., then we could have a lot more fun. >:| -Klaus

'Tis sad that that big fat building is in the way of our only kickball field! Very cruel of whoever put it there. -Flibbetergibbet/ Roth

We should re-set up the 4-square court so we can do more then four things at recess again. And I think we should go over the playground rules again because half of us have forgotten them, and there are some crazy ones like that we can't touch the snow (when there was any). Also, the rules have become so abstract that the rules almost don't apply to recess anymore.-Lucy

Lucy, I totally agree. I wonder where the 4-square court would go, though...everywhere is so muddy now. -Linnea

Lucy and Linnea, I bet we could put the four square court some where on the side walk becouse it is so muddy every where else, but i do suppose it is too small. -Nina

I think it is unfair that we aren't allowed to swing anymore. It was ok when the ground was all muddy, but now it should be better, right? -Linnea

I totally agree Linnea, the swings are the best!-Andy Hey you Otters, I didn't know that you were communicating so frequently through the wiki. I am really glad that you are using it. I started this in 2010, remember? The information that I entered is old...so I am sure it doesn't make complete sense. For instance, the "cottage" was not even an idea yet. The four square court can be put in place anytime, but it has been so wet! I asked Pete about it weeks ago and he said that all we need to do is decide a place. I thought that it could go over by the east end of the cottage, but not too close to the wall as it is the Bear Cubs room and would be loud if hit. I will investigate the swing situation. Why aren't you playing in the woods any more? How about we set up the garden for sitting and talking? I know that the spaces are limited now because of the cottage, but keep thinking of creative ways to improve what we have. Don't get bogged down with what we don't have. The weather this year has made our situation seem worse. Keep communicating! It's great! Kathryn

Does anyone know what happened to the old four-square court, made with rope? It was kind of an Adam memorial, so we should build a new one -Linnea

I don't know where it's stored, but I remember taking it out with Karl and Klaus.-Andy Life is so better now that we have REAL gym, and we get to live the life! nina it may sound sort of childish to some people, but we need to play marbles at school-Nia

Y U NO POST NO MORE?-Andy
